ActiveSync Problem

[stevensohn]

I bought a Dell Axim X5 a few months ago, and it is remarkable adjunct.

Lately, however, Microsoft ActiveSync has been giving me a problem that is not addressed by Microsoft.

The message begins: "There was no response from your device while checking for out-of-date appointments."

It then goes on to give advice that does not resolve the problem. The solution I have found is to uninstall ActiveSync and reinstall it, which lasts for about three synchronizations before it goes bad again.

Anybody have a clue? Better yet, anyone know of a product to REPLACE this software?

Is there a way to tell it to quit looking for out of date appointments?

Alas, would that there were.

ActiveSync is [when it works] an adequate program, but as is generally the case with Microsoft programs, it lacks the fine-tuning you refer to and that I would like.

Really wish to heck there was a competing product that did not need to have ActiveSync installed.

Right now, it is working fine, but I am sure there is a corrupt file somewhere, and I cannot find it, cannot locate it in the logs, or whatever. The only recourse I can think of is to format the Axim, and I do not want to format [hard-reset] the Axim, because it takes hours to set it up again.
